Ukrainian sniper ‘Charcoal’ lauded as modern-day ‘Lady Death’

"Move over, Ghost of Kyiv, there’s a new folk hero of Ukraine’s defense.
Reports circulated this week of a female Ukrainian sniper known only by her callsign, “Charcoal,” and photos in which her face is obscured by a shemagh-style scarf, her weapon draped in camouflage netting. 
 
The sniper joined the Ukrainian marines in 2017, hoping to impress her younger brother, who was also in the Ukrainian armed forces, according to the post.
She saw action against Kremlin-backed separatists in the eastern Donbas region, serving until the end of her contract early this year. When Russian forces invaded in February, she joined back up." NYP
